I cannot write about the reasons but I went to New York. Immigration and customs took quite a bit of time to clear. When you have more than 100 boxes of DVDs, you will normally be stopped. You will be questioned at length.

I think it was quite a while ago, but I think that I wrote about how I was asked at Narita Airport, “Do you always travel by economy class?” and the truth is, that I didn’t answer back then which did not really bother me but since then, I have been flying economy class.

The round trip in economy class was too hard on my body. If there is a chance for me to go to New York again and I can use my mileage club miles, I think I would like to upgrade.

Reporter: It’d been a long time since we see Mr. BYJ in the drama of TWSSG. Now we feel happy to see you again after such a long period. Can you tell us how you’ve spent your life these days? And, Mr. YJS, as an emcee who enjoys the greatest popularity now, can you tell us how you feel towards this?

BYJ: I’ve been under rehab. and in the meanwhile I’ve read some books and seen some movies whenever I got a chance. I really get good rest these days. And I will do the voice acting in the animated version of Winter Sonata soon which is a joint work of Korea and Japan.

YJS: I feel a little bit flattered by the great popularity. I am just doing my job to bring happiness and merriment to the audience. I appreciate people’s support and love.

Reporter: This is the first time cooperation for you two in the CF, how’s that?

BYJ: During the filming, Mr. YJS always shows his professional manner. In this point, I think he is really a professionist. And also I am surprised by his ability to make people around him feel comfortable and happy.

YJS: I feel very appreciate towards Mr. BYJ’s concern about all the people around him during the filming. When I was facing the camera alone, he always gave me a lot of courage which let me feel more natural about my acting and because of this, I can finish the filming smoothly and happily.

Reporter: Mr. BYJ, what’s your feeling when you were invited to do the CF for Shinhan?Mr. YJS had been in two CFs for Shinhan and I was wondering what people’s reactions are towards the first one?

BYJ: Shinhan Financial Group has been developed on the basis of trust and reliability. I feel honored to do the CF for them and also it’s important to keep the feeling of reliability. At the same time, I am willing to learn the challenging spirit of them.

YJS: After the first CF came out , people put all their attentions to Ms. Lee Young Ah, and I guess this time, they will focus on Mr. BYJ. (Laughing)

Reporter: Mr. BYJ, in your dramas and films, you always give us an impression as a combination of masculinization and gentleness. What’s impression you will bring to us in this CF?

BYJ: I think it is still the same impression “ Masculinization and tenderness” When I express the idea of “ growing up with the Shinhan Financial” I show my firm side, but when I work with Mr. YJS in a harmonious atmosphere, it’s my gentle side.

Reporter: People are working hard to manage their financials regardless of age and career. What’s your way of managing your money, Mr. YJS?

YJS: Working hard and putting all the money in the bank is all what I have been doing. There are a lot people around me who are good at managing financials which let me consider about whether I should be more caring about my managing method and do I need to learn it from them? Of course, I can get the consultation from Shinhan if I want to get the information. (Laughing)

Reporter: Both Mr. BYJ and Mr. YJS have formed a strict self-discipline to establish the highest position in their respective areas. Would you please give some advice to the Shinhan Staff regarding self-management?

BYJ: I think the best self-management is to do your job in a professional method, and always keep in mind to show your concerns towards all the people around you.

YJS: I think, the best self-management is always trying your best, and always be optimistic.

Reporter: All the Shinhan Staff feel strongly towards the cooperation of you two in this CF. As the models of this CF, please say something to our staff.

BYJ: I feel very happy to be the model of Shinhan and treasure the friendship with all of you. I hope you can live your life vigorously and stay healthy. I wish a prosperous future of Shinhan and also I will motivate my self to present new image of myself in front of you.

YJS: Through the CF, I greeted all of you once again. Sometimes I think whether it is true or it is just a dream (laugh). As the model of Shinhan, I will try hard to bring reliability and trust to all of you. Cheers! Thank you!
